At 4pm the Chrysler building casts a 379 ft shadow down lexicon Avenue. AT the same time of day noelle who is five and a half feet tall casts a two Ft casts

Question

I need work shown and that’s it 

Answer 1

 

Sets up the proportion: shadow length vs. actual height

 

Shadow                     2                          397

-------------   =  ----------------   =  -------------

actual height           5.5                           ?

 

 

Cross multiplies:

2 * ? = 397 * 5.5

 

?  = 397 * 5.5/2 = 1091.75
